5 Exotic Meats You Should Try Soon (and Why)
Also called Himalayan beef, these long-haired cattle have lean, juicy meat that’s even milder-tasting than beef. This is the traditional animal protein in Tibetan cuisine, and several restaurants specializing in this fare have cropped up in NYC over the last few years; however, many substitute American beef for yak. But check out Himalayan Yak in Jackson Heights, Queens, for a taste of the real deal. Domestic yak can also be purchased online from Fossil Farms, a distributor based in New Jersey. Slice it up for stir-fries or grill a whole steak.
